I have content manager and assetto installed but when I try to launch a race is crashes and shows "Error: Couldn't run steam". Everything works fine when it comes to normal assetto corsa and content manager fully displays the stats I have from my steam profile. The problem comes from launching any game through content manager.

I believe "Don't Starve" does everything right, I'm not talking about the gameplay (Even though it's awesome too), but the technology.

Firstly, it's DRM-free, meaning it's yours forever, it's not tied to any platform, it doesn't need an account, nothing. You just need the files and it runs. (I'm talking about the GOG version).

Second, it's cross-platform. But truly cross-platform. I've played both on Windows and Linux for hundreds of hours and the two versions are identical.

I've never come across a game this easy to mod. Seriously. You have the engine code, which is compiled to binary for performance. But that's just the game engine part of the game, everything else is in plain .lua files. You can just open any of the files and modify the game, even if you don't know Lua, it's really intuitive. The game is completely transparent and also feels lightweight. It's a really good technical design.

And there's barely any bugs. I don't know who works at Klei but this game never crashed on me, not on Windows nor Linux. It never has frame drops, I barely encountered any bugs in 10 years of playing. It's crazy. It feels like good quality, and it's hard to find good quality in software nowadays.

I've never come across any other game like Don't Starve, but if you have a title that you feel can compete in terms of tech design then please drop the title.

And this is just the technical sides of things, there's a lot to say about the game itself and why it's so fun and addicting but I'll stop here.

I am using bazzite on an xbox ally x and got a couple 8bitdo controllers for the holidays. I can connect the controller in bluetooth or 2.4ghz mode just fine, but when I open warframe, I can launch the game, but the button set never swaps to "Game" after the game launches. It stays in "Launcher" mode. This makes it so I can only pan the camera, and jump, all other inputs do nothing. If I modify the steam input binds for the Launcher mode, I see it reflected in the actual game. Issue is that "Launcher" mode doesn't have binds setup that allow you to actually play the game. Any ideas what's going on here?

I tried looking online, but It seems I can't describe this bug well as all results I've found refer to different errors.

I happens to me in Warframe and in Elden Ring Nightreign. In the first its not that bad, just some light effects get stuck in front of the screen. But in Nightreign it makes the game unplayable as that fog/light that should be in the background just appears on top of everything.

I'm using Omarchy (Arch based) in a laptop with a nvidia gpu.

The proton DB I have them on epic.

Like title says looking to give it away since I have them on Epic games and they left over from the Lego bundle. I wanna give them away by June so keys don't just poof.

Figure post here first as the reddit has been helpful :)

Hey everyone, I've been banging my head against this for a while trying to fix these issues and could use some help.

My Setup:

• Arch Linux
• Hyprland 0.53.0 (Wayland compositor)
• RTX 3080 Laptop GPU + Ryzen 9 6900HX
• 2560x1440 @ 165Hz display
• Hyprland scale set to 1.25
• Steam (native, not Flatpak)
• supergfxctl in Hybrid mode

I can't seem to get CS2 working with all of these at the same time:

• Steam overlay (Shift+Tab)
• No mouse teleporting issue
• Native 2560x1440 resolution

So basically:

• Without gamescope: Mouse randomly teleports to the edge of the screen, but overlay works
• With gamescope + --force-grab-cursor: Mouse is fine, but Steam overlay doesn't work at all [ gamemoderun gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 165 -f --force-grab-cursor -- %command% ]
• Native Wayland mode: Heard Valve recently fixed the mouse issue, but overlay still doesn't work for me, and I can't select true Fullscreen (only Windowed/Fullscreen Windowed available), so I'm stuck at the scaled resolution

The resolution issue is because Hyprland has 1.25 scaling, so Fullscreen Windowed shows 2048x1152 instead of 2560x1440. And in native Wayland, there's no exclusive fullscreen option.

How do I get all these working?

• Steam overlay
• No mouse teleporting
• Native 2560x1440 resolution (or at least a way to force it)

Has anyone figured out a setup that gets all of these working? Is there a gamescope flag I'm missing that enables the overlay? Or a way to force resolution in native Wayland mode?

Any help appreciated, been stuck on this for way too long.

Managed to grab a bc250 before the prices skyrocketed and I’m happy with the results. Great for 1080p and just a little 1440p but not recommended. Still a few things I should do though it seems.

I am wondering if anyone had a better power solution? I am just jumping two pins on the power supply with a button switch installed, but I would rather have a normal push button like a regular PC to start and power down, or wake from sleep. My current setup obviously is an issues for waking from sleep. Not sure if it’s even supported. Has anyone been able to accomplish this?

Another thing is when I put the bc250 to sleep, the power supply is still on. The bc250 is in idle but I need to reduce the idle power. Any advice on that would be really helpful. A little new to Linux builds like this, I followed the online guide, but it’s quite hard to navigate and find what I need. I currently cannot use sleep mode at all as nothing will wake it.

Lastly, has anyone got the wake through Xbox controller working or over lan? I have the original Microsoft adapter but I’m not sure that works. I can switch to Bluetooth as well. Might not work because it’s a mining card but worth a try. Looking for any input here.

Has there been any reports on an issue or regression regarding the amd-pstate-epp driver? Or something in 6.17 and 6.18? I only know of the regression with amdgpu that effects users.

Preface.
Last November I upgraded to AM5 + 7800X3D, a few weeks before my distro released updated to Plasma 6.5 with Kernel 6.18 lts.
Up till then I was still running 6.16.8 with amd-pstate (passive). Changed to amd-pstate-epp (active) driver for the 7800X3D and this worked fine on 6.16.8 no issues with sleep/resume.

Since I updated to Kernel 6.18 I have been having the following CPU performance issues when my system has resumed from sleep.
My CPU's ‘all core boost’ is no longer boosting to it’s ‘all core frequency’ under all core load. Which for my part is ~4.9Ghz.

The following boost behavior now occurs, after resume from sleep, on both Kernel 6.17 and 6.18:
Only two cores boost to max freq of 5049Mhz and the rest are stuck at 4.0Ghz.
A reboot is needed to get normal CPU frequency boosting behavior back for all core work loads.

Temporal workaround was to switch back to the non-epp amd-pstate driver amd_pstate=passive amd_prefcore=enable, still on Kernel 6.18 and the boost behavior issue after sleep/resume is now gone.

Nothing really out of the ordinary.

Journalctl also does not show anything out of the ordinary after a resume from sleep state, except for these cores:

There is some stuff I play on Linux that has generic names, so I'm not going to remember what lsfg-vk is referencing down the line. ie. Doom Dark Ages needs to have Profile Name set to Titan, Entropy Survivors is literally just called Game Thread. I have tried renaming the entry after selecting the specific process, but that breaks functionality. I believe on Windows Lossless Scaling, it is just that you have a profile for the settings, then a hotkey to enable the framegen (also with an indicator it's working, which lsfg-vk doesn't have).

Anyway...

Is there a method to rename just a profile to be the game name while maintaining the process? Or is this maybe a feature request to make on the github?

A fresh new Humble Bundle to begin 2026 with some quality games and they're highly rated too, and they should all work on Linux / SteamOS.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

Hi everyone.
I’m posting this as a last attempt to make this work on Linux before giving up and going back to Windows, at least for gaming.

I want to be very clear from the start:
I’m not a programmer or a Linux power user.
I’m just someone who loves PC gaming and modding, and I migrated to Linux with a lot of excitement… until I hit this wall.

My background (important context)

• Distro: CachyOS (Arch-based)
• GPU: modern NVIDIA (official drivers)
• Steam installed natively
• Baldur’s Gate 3 running via Proton Experimental
• Game installed on a separate drive:/run/media/alonso/Disco de juegos/SteamLibrary/

I’m comfortable following guides and terminal commands, but I don’t write code or fully understand how DLL injection works internally.

What I’m trying to do

I want to play Baldur’s Gate 3 with mods, specifically:

• Script Extender (Norbyte)
• Mods that depend on it:
  • WASD movement
  • Native camera tweaks
  • Edit / Custom Companions

This setup is extremely common on Windows and works there without issues.

What works so far

• BG3 launches and runs perfectly in Proton
• Performance is great
• Simple .pak mods that do not require Script Extender load correctly
• BG3 Mod Manager runs using protontricks
• BG3MM detects the game and mods correctly
• BG3MM downloads Script Extender without errors (progress bar, permissions prompt, etc.)

At this point, everything looks correct.

The problem

None of the mods that depend on Script Extender actually work:

• WASD movement → no effect
• Native camera → no effect
• Edit / Custom Companions → no effect

They all fail at the same time.

I don’t mind learning and tweaking things, but this has become very discouraging because:

• On Windows, this setup works almost instantly
• On Linux, there are many layers involved (Steam, Proton, Wine, loaders, prefixes)
• When something breaks, there is no feedback telling you where the failure is
• As a non-developer, it’s hard to know what to try next

I’m close to reinstalling Windows just to play this game with mods, which honestly makes me sad after migrating to Linux with so much excitement.

Thanks a lot for reading and for any help you can offer. -I used ChatGPT to help me structure my ideas so this post actually makes sense.

I have been playing Elden Ring on my newly built PC, and have noticed some weird graphical issues. My specs are:

Motherboard: MSI B650 Gaming Plus

CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X

GPU: Intel Arc B580

SSD: Samsung EVO 990 Pro 2tb

RAM: A-Tech 2x8gb 4800MHz

I am running Linux Mint 22.2

I am unsure if this is a linux issue or a compatibility issue with my Arc B580. The most prominent issue was trying to do ray tracing in Elden Ring, which as far as I know should work perfectly fine, but produced the results in the image.

Attempting to turn ray tracing on.

Sometimes the lighting will just go super dark at certain camera angles. When it rains in game, I get very weird and odd graphical effects with the skybox and other elements in general. Some parts of the UI are messed up, like Boss names only displaying the top half of the text.

Weird graphical issue in the UI.

Other than these weird issues, I have had literally no problems actually running the game on my 1440p monitor on High settings. Framerates are fine, but these issues really bother me and make it difficult to want to play the game.

Hello everyone, i started playing RS3 again, managed to install it through steam no issues.
But only problem is I am getting 35-45 FPS in ANY graphics settings(low or ultra).

At first i thought i am running on CPU(R5 7600) and that was the case. So i enabled Proton in Steam and I see my GPU (RX 7800XT) spiking up. But it goes up to 40%.

AMD drivers are built into the kernel if I understand correctly, so there should be no driver tinkering for me to do, but if that's the case, why my GPU not hitting 100%?

If you need any logs, let me know.
